Add the closure flap by securing the end 4-1/8″ piece to the back of the notepad cardstock and then wrap it around & secure it to the front of the notepad. You should have a 3/4″ flap left that you can attach magnets to for securing it tight.

The leaves behind the flower are from Kinda Eclectic and I once again used burlap to tie it all together. I love the extra texture that adding even a small piece of burlap ribbon adds. The sentiment is from the hostess only set Happy Birthday, Everyone.

The final project was a birthday card inspired by a new challenge blog – Pinterest Inspired Challenge. Stop by and have a look at the entries so far – lots of inspiration just in the cards that have been put forward!!!

This is the inspiration photo:

And this is the card the ladies made:

The splatters in the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set provided the perfect option for creating our own DSP-esque background. The birthday sentiment is from the Tin of Cards stamp set. I realised after making this card that I’d actually used 2 “kit stamp sets” – they are great for more than just making up the kits.
